( 2003-11-05 14:00) (Xinhua)
US Commerce Secretary Donald Evans on Tuesday pledged to strengthen US-China
economic ties, saying that he believes the two countries will continue to work
toward the direction.
"I don't think we're enemies at all," said Evans in an interview Tuesday
night with CNBC, a leading US business TV channel.
"We're going to continue to build a strong economic relationship between
China and the United States of America," he said.
Evans also discussed issues concerning the intellectual property right and he
called for more cooperation and work to be done in this area.
As China's economy has been growing rapidly, the US-China trading
relationship has been a subject of wide interests.
In another speech made recently, Evans said:"we see the US-China trading
relationship as key to our national interests and critical to the global
economy."
"It is destined to become even more important because, in contrast to most
other countries, our economies are growing rapidly," he
added.
